C.. or the Future and Apprentice Craftsmen's Club, was erected at a house-raising in 1934. The land was cleaned and the construction supervised by the Consulting Engineer. M. O. Valentine. The General Manager. Darrel Mock, and the Superintendent, Bur- ton Tompkins, were directly responsible for the work. There are three kinds of workmen: the boys now enrolled in General Shop classes are known as Future Craftsmen, and the members of the Trades and Industries classes are known as Apprentice Craftsmen, and boys who have graduated and are work- ing at their trades are known as Craftsmen. Brush High has the distinct honor of organizing the first Future and Ap- prentice Craftsmen’s Club in Colorado. The colors of this group of workers are green and gold. Ten local tradesmen, chosen each year as honorary members, lent their aid in constructing the building. They met with the club to make short talks on their chosen crafts and enjoy social evening. Occasionally the club took time for parties and entertainments. The efficient work of this group is probably due to the strict adherence to their motto, Skill, Industry, and Honor.

Spell-down! Who can spell Brush rooters? B-R-U-S-H P-E-P C-L-U-B! Correct. Who is in this club? M-E-M-B-E-R-S-H-I-P; the membership this year is thirty-three. In order to be in the pep club a girl must be outstanding in school loyalty, and have a B average at the time of initiation. Next comes new members: who will spell it? P-L-E-D-G-E-S: the new members were seen carrying buckets to school one day in October. This was merely initiation. The pledge service was held on the evening of October 18. Leaders should not be hard to spell. O-F-F-I-C-E-R-S of the club for this year were: Dorothy Jane Petersen, president: Rachel Ruhl, treasurer: Anna Mae Petteys. secretary; and Eleanor Sorenson, drill captain. Miss Mary Louise Lyda was the sponsor. We need something new. What about clothes? An important factor of this year's club was N-E-W U-N-I-F-O-R-M-S. The club and the individuals together paid for these suits, a gold vest over a white blouse, maroon trousers, and gold shoes. The pep club girls can always be seen at C-O-N-F-E-R-E-N-C-E games in their uniforms, presenting a stunt between halves. Some of the stunts this year were the formation of letters, a flashlight stunt, and various cheers. How do you spell lunch? T-E-A was the way the pep club spelled it when they invited the alumni after the home-coming game. U-S-H-E-R-I-N-G at student association activities was done by the pep club. In order to move up in the line, the girls earned honor points. They could earn these points in various ways, such as attending athletic games, being in the line-up at these games, and doing various types of public service.

The first big council fire was held in September of 1932. Floyd Martin was elected big chief for the following year. When retirement followed his year of office, Clayton Giauque became the new chief. This year the high council was composed of six chiefs, with another executive group of six warriors. The other members, the braves, were representatives from tribal organizations.

H. S. decided to become members of the largest tribe in the north- eastern territory of Colorado. We were one of the first members of the Northeastern Colorado Association of High School Councils, of which Mr. A. E. Corfman, Superintendent of Brush Public Schools, was elected faculty administrator. The first meeting, after organizing at Sterling, was held at Fort Morgan. Chiefs from sixteen Colorado schools told of their accomplishments during the past year. The social hour question was widely discussed, and when Brush came back from this tribal meeting we started to work on this question. The Student Council sent out questionnaires concerning the social hour and sponsored a joint meeting of citizens of the town and council members. The central banking system for all organizations and the activity tickets which include numbers presented by the Midwest Assemblies are important projects of the Student Associa- tion. Since its early days, our council fire has played an ever increasing part in B. H. S.
